Food Combinations and Menu Ideas For Entertaining Raw

This interview is an excerpt from Kevin Gianni’s Renegade Roundtable, which can be found at http://www.RenegadeRoundtable.com. In this excerpt, Joel Odhner shares on food combinations and menu ideas for entertaining raw.

Renegade Water Secrets with Joel Odhner, restaurant owner, chef, and raw food chef with clients from Delaware to New York.

Kevin: So let’s move into food combining. What are some raw foods that go together like peas in a pod and what are some that shouldn’t be putting in your

meals.

Joel:Okay, well, one of the obvious ones some people don’t think about is, if you are going to eat a melon, only eat melons. So just oftentimes, in fact, often I’ll just have a whole melon for lunch. I’ll just eat the entire watermelon or cantaloupe or whatever it is and nothing else. I consider melons kind of like jet fuel. It goes through you much quicker than anything else does and digests much quicker. So sort of the worst thing you can do is to eat like some nut- based or that kind of thing, a pate or something like that and then follow it up with some melon because it will move through faster than you wish it did. I’ll just put it to you that way.

Kevin: Right, right.

Joel:And then the sort of the big no-no, there’s a lot of talk about mixing fruits with vegetables, other kind of fruits. And it really in my own privileged brain it all depends on you. Everyone’s digestion system is just a little different, a little more sensitive. Personally, I’m not real sensitive to stuff. I know that, I mean I love avocados and yet I know I don’t digest them really well. So I have to be careful and about eating those on top of a lot of other things, as much as I love them. So I try not to actually mix them like with a tomato, sort of like an avocado, tomato, onion kind of mix. Just kind of like chopped up, salsa kind of thing. This is a great case. You really got to listen to your own body and see what works for you and just kind of use yourself as your own test. In general, the heavier nuts and beans and things like that, sprouted beans and any of those based items remember that they are the heavier food, so if you have those and then follow it up with much lighter food it tends to kind of stop up your

system a little bit. So try to eat them at separate meals or I would eat those, actually eat the lighter foods first and the other ones on top.

Kevin: Got you. And you mentioned sprouts. Do you use a lot of sprouts when you’re preparing meals or not?

Joel:Sprouts, as in like sunflower sprouts and that kind of thing, yes. Not a lot per se, but I do. Sprouted, I don’t really use many sprouted peas, beans or lentils. They’re great. I love them. I don’t happen to personally use them. It’s not for any particular reason other than I just make a lot of other dishes. Speaking of that, sprouting something like a group or like a thing of peas, beans and lentils, it’s really simple and you just put it in the glass jar, maybe put a quarter cup of each one in one jar all mixed together, cover it with water, leave it overnight, drain the water off, and, you know, do that twice a day and within like three to five days, you’ll have sprouts. You’ll have sprouted peas and lentils which is great on top of a salad. It’s a great protein source. It’s excellent and it literally costs pennies.

Kevin: Yeah.

Joel:And at this time of year you stick it in the windowsill and you grow a little sprout and you’re all set. So anybody who’s up for that, it’s quite simple to do. You don’t need to go to the store and buy it that way.

Kevin: Do you think that’s one of the cheapest ways. I know a lot of people were asking how do you keep it into a budget? I know sprouts is definitely one of them. What are some of the other ways?

Joel:Sprouts is definitely the way to go, you know, from a cheap standpoint and getting your protein. I don’t think, it’s like I said before, try as much as possible to buy in bulk. And if you can share with another family or two, that’s really great. I think going out and buying daily is a real hassle. Although it’s funny, I did notice someone said that they live in New York and I thought they said New York City and didn’t like shopping every day. Well, it’s funny. I would take the opposite of all places. I would think that was the easiest place to shop every day because so many places to pick from.

Kevin: Yeah.

Joel:But from a time essence, hopefully you should be able to buy, depending on how many people you’re buying for, twice a week. I mean the key is you’re just going to load your fridge up with produce versus other than that, whatever else you might have, used to have in there and it’s funny. Speaking of cost I have one client who I have who actually eats meat, as well as other things, too. Compared to my other clients, she actually spends close to one and a half to two times as much.

Kevin: Are you kidding me?

Joel:I’m not kidding you.

Kevin: Wow.

Joel:So it’s a big misnomer. Everybody thinks that eating vegetarian or being vegan is more expensive, but it’s actually less expensive. The funny thing is she does eat some vegetables, but not many. So she is basically buying just meat. She’s spending close to one and a half to two times as much as the clients I buy all vegetables for.

Kevin: Wow.

Joel:So I’m buying this stuff from the exact same stores, so it’s not like it’s a cheap store and an expensive store. In fact, the store I buy from happens to be kind of expensive all across the board and yet she’s still spending more than the vegetarian group. So it’s really if you think about it, you’re just sort of shifting rather than spending in the past if people were spending money on meat, cheese, and dairy you’re now just going to take those dollars and it’s probably going to end up being less and spend it on fruits and vegetables. Because you really can’t from a quantity standpoint, how much can you eat? People used to eat a fair amount of meat, but now, you’re not going to eat three pounds of vegetables at lunchtime. You’re just not going to unless you’re juicing.

Kevin: I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work.

Joel:Yeah, exactly. If you’re going to eat an entire head of celery, an entire cucumber, four carrots and a whole thing of romaine, you’re to eat a little bit of that.

Kevin: Right.

Joel:No, I was going to say as people start eating more and more raw, you are going to notice that you are actually going to eat less in volume. When I first started doing raw eight, nine years ago I did. I had like the mixing bowl that’s the size that’s probably a foot and a half across and I’d eat these monstrous salads and within a very short amount of time I was down to pretty much of a normal size salad and that was it because you’re starting to get so much more of the vitamins and minerals from the quality of the food that you’re eating. You don’t need near the volume you used to. I’m a six-one, 200 pound guy. It’s not like and I don’t eat massive amounts of food. And I eat and I exercise. I mean I’m like you. I’m always out doing something.

Kevin: Yep. And you mentioned juicing. Now, how are you preserving your juices as you’re driving around? Do you have any sort of technique?

Joel:Certainly, keep them in glass.

Kevin: Yeah.

Joel:And when you do put them in glass you want to fill them up to the absolute top so that there’s no air getting into it because air is what is going to start breaking it down. And then I have a little cooler that I keep a little freezer pack in. I keep it cold, which will help preserve it as much as possible. Pretty much I carry what I’m going to do for the day. I’m not going to carry more than that.

Kevin: Here is a great question here that I got that I really like and the person asked, I’m having guests over, they’re none raw, they don’t really eat raw, but she wants us to prepare them something raw that they’ll really like. So what are one or two things that you found are great cross-over type meals. That people are just like, wait a minute, this is raw?

Joel:Well, kale salad’s a great one.

Kevin: Yeah.

Joel:I mean if you want to do something different than a typical salad.

Kevin: Right.

Joel:I would often use, like I said before, stuffed portabello mushroom, stuff it with a burger because a lot of people are into mushrooms and it’s a great thing, especially if you can marinate the mushroom a little bit it makes it a little bit softer.

Kevin: Okay.

Joel:Along with your burger. And depending on the time of the year, certainly there are some great soups. Like a gazpacho soup or that kind of thing or you can even make a chili which is good. Another thing is I will often make a burrito. A burrito I make is a walnut-based and it’s like your quote unquote meat. You just add some chili powder and some cumin and cilantro diced up, onion and tomato and you can roll that up, like I said before, like a wrap, like a sprouted wrap. And so you’re having it, you know, 99-percent raw basically the insides are.

And in fact, I will tell you a funny story I made that one time and one buddy of mine, he swore he would never — he has to have meat and so I made that burrito and put it in a little tortilla

wrap and I wrapped it up tin foil like it looked like I had bought it from a store and I brought it in and I said, I stopped a while ago it’s probably kind of cold, but it will be fine. He opens it up and inhales it and he’s like, it was great. And I said, by the way, there wasn’t one animal product in there. He said yes, it was. So I mean it’s a great item. Those are some easy, and those are all literally 15 minutes of prep time.

Kevin: Right. Imagine that, the person who is putting on the dinner party, 15 minutes of prep time. Imagine what else you can do. You can actually sit with your guests. How cool is that?

Joel:Here’s the great part. You can make all this food in advance and it doesn’t go bad, it doesn’t wilt. It’s like it’s ready to go.

Kevin: Right.

Joel:You can make these things and be all set, exactly. So you can actually spend more time with your guests and hold on I got to get it up to temperature and I’ll be right there.

The History of Roasted Pecans

Roasted Pecans have been around since the Native Americans found they could use them for food while traveling. Roasted pecans became a ritual event before going off to hunt. They did not spoil easily and are a small enough snack to carry in a bag without taking up a lot of room. They were perfect for providing the Indians with a nutritious snack that was known for taking away hunger. The roasted pecans eaten today are used for the same snacking purposes as the Indians found them good for.

Later On

They were commonly found throughout the countryside as a nut that was found on the Hickory tree. The European colonies picked up the use of roasted pecans after the Indians introduced them to it. The pecan is the only Native American nut tree today. It was best known for being grown by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. They cultivated the orchards of pecans and roasted pecans were used in many of the favorite dishes they served at their tables to family and guests. This must be the reason it is used so prominently today in the same dishes served back then.

Using It Today

Today roasted pecans are the favorite of many especially around the time of Thanksgiving and Christmas as they are perfect additions to special recipes. You can even use the oil from the roasted pecans to fry or add to recipes. It is a sweet tasting treat that will continue to make loyal food lovers stand up and take notice. They can be stored for almost nine months in their plain form if stored in the refrigerator. Freezer storage extends that time to two years. If they are left in the shell, they will last for about six months to a year if kept in a cool dry place for storage. Tins work the best for this.

Nutrition At Its Best

The roasted pecans have been found to be a positive item to add to your diet if you are concerned about your heart health. They also help to curb the appetite of those who are dieting or trying to loose weight. Roasted pecans are much better for you than a processed greasy snack would be. The oil that pecans contain is unsaturated and is alright for the body. Never be afraid to add a handful to any recipe you think they might be good for.

A Solid Tradition

Imagine the great thing that roasted pecans have become. From being the favorite snack of the Indians to being a centerpiece item on the tables of some of the greatest men to run the United States, this snack is still going strong today and is better than it ever could have been back then. Make sure your pantry has a ready supply around and make sure that if you do not already have this as a special tradition in your family that you begin this year during the Holiday season. It will definitely make you family feel more special if you do.

Holiday Gift Baskets For That Special Someone With a Sweet Tooth

Everyone knows someone; maybe it’s even you, with a sweet tooth. When it comes time to purchase a gift, your mind automatically falls on buying that special person sweets. What else could make them happier? How about holiday gift baskets filled with sweets? Instead of just one little box of chocolates, your friend or loved one can enjoy bag after bag of sweet goodness as they make their way through one of the sweet treats holiday gift baskets.

When you decide to purchase holiday gift baskets for someone with a sweet tooth, you want to look for certain characteristics to make sure you are getting the best gift for the money you spend.

Here are some things to look for when purchasing sweet treat holiday gift baskets:

Variety

Granted, most chocoholics can live by fudge alone. But make sure that your basket has some variety in it. Perhaps different varieties of fudge? If they like nuts, then a nice selection of candied pecans, buttered rum candied pecans, chocolate pecan bark, etc. All of these selections round out nice sweet treat holiday gift basket. You want your friend to be able to gorge themselves on all kinds of sweets for a while. Not just one sitting. Besides, you might like to “borrow” a few praline-candied pecans yourself!

Bang For Your Buck

As with any purchase, you want to make sure you are getting the most bang for your buck. Is there a large enough assortment of sweets in the basket? Will your friend or loved one have enough to eat and share? Is there anything in the basket that is time sensitive or will spoil? These are all things you need to consider when weighing the amount you are willing to pay for your basket versus the basket you ultimately purchase.

Attractive Packaging

When buying holiday gift baskets, another important thing to look for is packaging. How attractive is it? Are the contents well thought out and placed nicely in the basket? When the recipient gets the basket will they really be “blown away” by its presentation – not only of its contents, but also of its layout? Is the basket attractive? If the basket is attractive, this will allow the receiver to reuse the basket for other things around the home instead of just throwing it out. This puts a green spin on the gift – a definite plus!

Personal Preference

Sweets come down to personal preference. The key is to know your friend or loved one. What do they like? When looking for holiday gift baskets that contain just the right candies for your sweet tooth loving friend, look for items you know they are sure to love. Whether it’s chocolates, nuts or chocolate covered nuts, you want the recipient to know you thought of them and took the time to buy them a gift that you felt suited them to a “T.”

So the next time you are gift shopping, instead of buying just one gift, consider a gift basket filled with many gifts sure to please the sweet tooth in all of us.

Holiday Gift Baskets for the Gourmet

When it comes time to purchase a gift for your friend that’s a gourmet, you may feel overwhelmed. Especially if you are not a gourmet yourself. Where should you begin? Instead of opting out altogether and sending your buddy a pair of socks, consider sending gourmet holiday gift baskets instead. This eliminates the guesswork out of what to send and also gives your friend or loved one a basket brimming with gifts that they are sure to love. As an added bonus, they can prepare some of the creations in their gourmet basket and you can enjoy eating it!

Here are some things to look for when purchasing gourmet holiday gift baskets:

Contents

You want to pay attention to what comes in the holiday gift baskets. A person only needs so many pate spreaders. Make sure there is some variety in the basket you are selecting. A good basket will have spreads, crackers and maybe even a nice soup mix. Basically a meal in a basket, from appetizer to dessert. While you may have never heard of “she-crab soup,” your gourmet friend will delight in trying something new and out of the ordinary.

Price

Gourmet holiday gift baskets can be on the pricey side, so make sure that you are getting ample bang for your buck. As mentioned earlier, you want to make sure there is plenty of variety in your basket to account for the price you are paying for the gourmet foods. Obviously, this isn’t a cheese-wiz basket, so you should expect to pay a little more for a high quality basket.

Warranty On The Food

With many gourmet holiday gift baskets there will be foods that possibly could expire or go bad. You will want to inquire if there is any satisfaction guarantee on the gift or a warranty on the food in case of spoilage. Since these items are prepackaged and/or canned, you probably don’t have to worry much about spoilage, but it never hurts to ask ahead of time.

Small or Large?

Not sure what your budget can handle? Then maybe you should opt for small gourmet holiday gift baskets instead of large gourmet holiday gift baskets. Either way, you are able to give your friend a well thought out gift filled with gourmet goodies that they are sure to enjoy, but will also fit into any gift giving budget. Also, if you have more than one gourmet friend, (lucky you!), you can opt for smaller baskets so they all can enjoy the gourmet gifts inside and you still have a budget left for the rest of your family and friends around the holidays.

Gourmet holiday gift baskets are an excellent way to treat a friend or loved one that is into high end cooking. These baskets give variety and a veritable meal in a basket for you and your loved one to enjoy. Instead of giving just one gift, give many gifts in the form of a holiday gift basket.

Holiday Gift Baskets – The Perfect Gift For Corporate Clients

During the holidays, corporate clients are an important aspect of your gift giving agenda. These customers have been loyal to you all year long and have probably contributed greatly to your bottom line. Now it’s your turn to show them that you care about their business and care about their loyalty. What better way than with holiday gift baskets?

Holiday gift baskets come in many shapes and sizes, but one thing almost everyone can agree on is a basket comprised of sweet goodies that can be shared with the entire staff.

Here are some things to look for when purchasing holiday gift baskets for your corporate clients:

Price

During the holidays, budgets are always on the top of your mind. Especially if you have more than one corporate client. You don’t want to appear cheap and buy just any type of holiday gift baskets, but on the other hand, you don’t want to blow your budget and not have enough left to impress all of your top clients. The key is to find a middle ground between price and function. What will duly impress your client with your thoughtfulness and at the same time not empty your pocketbook. You may have to do some shopping around, but finding the perfect holiday gift baskets can be done.

Variety

Another important aspect of purchasing the perfect gift basket is finding one with lots of variety. You want to not only impress the client, but also impress the staff that will undoubtedly partake in the goodies found inside. Look for holiday gift baskets that have multiple items inside, not just one or two. This way, everyone can enjoy something in the basket.

Beauty

Remember, these holiday gift baskets are for your top clients. You want to make sure they are as beautiful as they are functional. Many of your clients will display the basket in the front lobby or in a prominent position at their place of business. You want to make sure their basket is attractive and well put together. When your client’s customers come in, you want to elicit “oo’s and ah’s” so that your client will feel proud of the gift you gave them. Also, this could lead other customers to your door for future business, just on your attention to detail in the gift.

What’s Inside?

Make sure that there is something for everyone in your gift basket. Most people love chocolate, so sending a Sweet Treat Basket filled with fudge, brownies and candied pecans is sure to satisfy every sweet tooth in the office. You want to look for a gift basket that has a wide assortment of gifts so that everyone is satisfied with your selection.

Holiday gift baskets are a great gift for everyone on your shopping list, but especially your corporate clients. This eliminate you having to run all over town looking for a gift, only to take it to a shipping center to send it off. Now you can shop online and with the click of a mouse send your top customers a gift they are sure to love.

How to Shop and Store Pecans

There are many places to shop for pecans. You can find them in farmers markets, grocery stores and online. You can buy them also from growers as well as distributors. When shopping for these nuts there are some things that you will need to know. Look for plump nuts that are uniform in color and size. Unshelled nuts can be stored for up to six months, while nuts in the shell can last up to a year. Shelled nuts can also be stored in a freezer for a period of over two years. Knowing how to store these nuts is a way to extend their life.

How do I store pecans for maximum freshness?

When storing pecans, you need to keep in mind that using sealed plastic bags for freezer storage is the ideal way to store in the freezer. By storing them in this fashion, you prolong the freshness factor. When storing them in the refrigerator, it is wise to store them in airtight containers. Jars with lids are recommended, but any air tight container will do for storing in the refrigerators. Remember that they can be frozen and refrozen in the freezer without loss of taste. When storing outside of a refrigerator, keep in a cool, dark place such as a cupboard. You can use air tight containers or plastic bags to store these nuts. However this is not recommended for storing.

Why is proper storage for pecans so important?

When storing pecans, if they are stored incorrectly, then you lose flavor, texture and freshness. Improperly storing these nuts can lead to spoilage and nut rot. This will then mean a loss of produce that could have been saved if proper storage procedures had been followed. Another thing to remember about storing these nuts, if you store them at room temperature in a dark place, you do run the risk of having those nuts infested with bugs. These are some things to keep in mind when storing nuts properly. Proper nut storage is vital to extending the freshness and flavor of these nuts.

How do I use stored pecans correctly?

When using stored pecans, the main thing to remember if they are shelled or unshelled. With an unshelled nut, all you would do would be to crack the nut and remove the nut. Then use the nut as the recipe dictates. When dealing with frozen nuts, you will need to let them thaw out before usage. Once they are thawed then use them as you need them. Those really are the only differences in how to use stored nuts correctly. Remember that you can use and re use frozen nuts. The freezing action will not hurt the nut and will preserve the flavor.

All this sounds really simple for buying and storing pecans.

Pecans are easy to buy and to store properly. By following these tips, you can buy and then store these nuts with confidence.

There are also a lot of goodies you can make from pecans, including chocolate pecan fudge, peanut butter pecan fudge, pecan pralines, chocolate pecan pie, pecan pralines & more! Visit our blog on the web at http://tannerspecan.blogspot.com for great pecan recipe ideas!

Why is the Cost of Food So High?

Prices are rising and supplies are tightening, for a number of reasons. We are seeing food prices increasing at their highest rate in years. The price of food is subject to the cost of production and the recent concern of rising oil prices and fertilizer prices is having a big influence. The increasing price of food is moving at a faster rate than it’s risen since 1990, at 4 percent in the United States.

Costs for raw materials for fertilizer, not including oil, have themselves been increasing as demand for food increases. As we all feel the pinch at the pump with the price of oil rising, so do the costs of planting, harvesting, and delivering food. American families, who are already strapped by rising energy costs, are being hit again in their household budgets as food prices increase at the fastest rate since 1990.

Americans are reeling from sticker shock at the pump while government scrambles to avert a fast-moving crisis before it spins out of control. Global food price hikes are becoming a crisis. These and other conditions have been referred to a “perfect storm,” by United Nations World Food Program executive director Josette Sheeran recently stated.

Energy plays its part too. Increased costs for transportation, labor and energy have driven cereal products alone up 6% in recent months. Energy costs hit us coming and going, it costs more to process food and then it costs more to move it out to the market. Energy is going to continue to get more expensive, not less. Energy costs are the largest single force driving inflation.

Supply and Demand

Some once said, “Supply and demand is not a law, it’s a policy” Even though the cost of food is controlled by fundamental constraints of supply and demand, the equilibrium of good and ill also depends in part on governments. Strained supply at home and abroad is driving up food prices. Wheat is seeing its tightest supply in the United States since 1946, and soybean supplies also are on rocky ground. Summing it all up, demand is soaring, supply has dwindling, and food is being poured into the gas tank. Can we honestly believe that in the long term, thriving farms and open markets will provide a secure food supply?

In general, food prices in the stores are much less volatile than prices at the farm-level and tend to rise at a much smaller rate that the change in farm prices. Saying that overall rising food prices are responsible for the shortages doesn’t make sense, considering that there would not be enough rice regardless due to climate and poor government practices in the countries like the US that are having shortages. What can we do to stay in control when food prices are rising? Here are some possibilities, eat more leftovers, cook more at home, take meals from home, stock up on good deals and make a plan to build up an emergency food storage plan.

ABC Liquor License

An ABC liquor license can immediately increase the profits of a business. Business owners who successfully apply for and are granted a license find they are able to solidify their customer base and better satisfy their customers.

There are many reasons that businesses begin selling alcohol to their customers.

Customer satisfaction is the main reason for obtaining an ABC liquor license. By satisfying their customers desire to consume alcoholic beverages on-site, most businesses report a greater degree of stability. They also have a better chance of surviving among their competition when their customers are satisfied. Plus they are able to appeal to a larger variety of customers and then maintain the new customers they get.

An ABC liquor license also increases revenue. Many businesses start with just a beer and wine license, but when they add alcohol to their inventory, sales usually increase dramatically. And with increased cash flow businesses are able to implement new ways of adding to the bottom line, such as more wait staff and increased hours of operation.

Increased revenue does not only help business owners but employees as well. The higher revenue can lead to pay raises and bonuses for loyal employees. This helps with employee retention, which is also incredibly important in running a successful business.

Competition is another factor that causes businesses to get an ABC liquor license. Many businesses find that, if their competition has added alcohol to their list of available items, which increases the value of those businesses, they must do the same, otherwise they risk losing their patrons to the surrounding businesses.

In todays economy businesses need to be a ‘one stop destination’ for their customers. Customers expect to be able to get everything they want in one place. When a business sells a full line of alcoholic beverages, that business is much more likely to satisfy their customers at every level. A business that has a limited range of products cannot compete very well and will see their customers go to the competition down the street in order to get what they want.
